#2 Kings XI Punjab- Colin Ingram

Colin Ingram last played an international game in 2013 but is one of the best T20 cricketers that the country has produced. He has some experience playing in the IPL when he played for DD. He has played for many T20 franchises all over the world and will most likely be picked by an IPL franchise this season. He had a great outing for Glamorgan in the Vitality T20 Blast and scored 430 runs for them at an average of 53 and a great strike rate of 164.
His experience in batting and holding innings from one end will certainly be something which will attract the Kings. They already have the hard-hitting David Miller in their team and Ingram will certainly be a good addition. His similarity to someone like Shaun Marsh who tasted a lot of success for them can make them go for this specialist T20 batsman who can strengthen their weak middle order.
#3- Kolkata Knight Riders- Dale Steyn
Dale Steyn was one of the most feared bowlers in both IPL and international cricket but has been plagued by injuries off late. He has made an inspiring comeback to international cricket and has taken 7 wickets in the 3 ODIs he played against Australia at a great economy rate of 3.48 and an excellent average of 13.42.

He also possesses a great IPL record and has taken 92 wickets in the IPL with a great economy of 6.72. His fiery attitude and tremendous comeback can certainly earn him takers after he went unsold last season. The Kolkata Knight Riders lacked a good overseas fast bowler last season due to Starc's absence due to injury and have released him for the next season. Steyn can certainly be a good pick for the Knight Riders.
